So I saw a woman in this group write that this happened to her but then she went and got another opinion and they found the heartbeat. It’s not always easy to find at this stage and the sizing is also not very accurate even towards the end. Just a thought, I would maybe check again before getting a D&C or wait a bit?

this has happened to me in the past, same exact scenario. I'm so sorry for your loss. are you having testing done? I would suggest it, we had testing done and found out it was a girl with turners, it helped to give me closure knowing that there was a reason for what happened.

Same happened to me. Heart beat was 160 at 8 weeks. I felt something was wrong and had been spotting the entire time and at week 9 I was in the ER. Measuring 8w2d and little flutter had stopped. I’ve posted a separate discussion because I felt so lost after. But there have been so many helpful mommies on here who have been through the same and have offered kind words and advice.

No symptoms at all yet of miscarriage. Actually this last week I felt more pregnant than ever, with nausea, sore boobs etc. My OB said it could take weeks for my body to realize the loss.

I thought about the possibility of them just “missing” the heartbeat this time, but we heard it so strongly last two appointments it doesn’t seem plausible to me.

There were some red flags that this pregnancy wasn’t working out. In the beginning my HCG was taking more than 48 hours to double. And I was measuring a week behind from when I ovulated, though I was showing growth between appointments.

I am so sorry that you are going through this. I have gone through this three times myself.

Lean on your support system and what works for you, if that’s talking about it, praying, taking time to yourself, etc. Grief is most certainly a process. I hope that you have a supportive partner through this. Remember that we all grieve differently.....I could have saved a lot of strain on my marriage if I could have understood that my husband grieves differently than I do. It didn’t feel like he cares “enough” or as much as I cared for our pregnancy. We are all different. Best of luck to you through this time. Xoxo
